Saturday, January 24th

Sorry for the delay; my list of "Best games outside of the rankings" was supposed to be here yesterday. But I was watching the big winter storm to see if it would wreck havoc on the CBB slate.
Thankfully, no major CBB games were cancelled or postponed. But we DID see a rearranging of times for several games, like Ole Miss/Kentucky, North Carolina/Virginia, and today's Main Event of Houston/Texas Tech.
If I forgot any big schedule changes, let me know. Now on to the games outside of the Top 25 to watch today:

Wofford @ Mercer (11:00 A.M.)
Illinois State @ Belmont (1:00)
South Carolina @ Texas A&M (1:00)
St. John's @ Xavier (1:30)
Miami @ Syracuse (2:00)
UCF @ Colorado (3:00)
Jackson State @ Bethune-Cookman (4:00)
San Diego State @ UNLV (4:00)
Nevada @ New Mexico (8:00)
California @ Stanford (8:00)

Lots of good basketball today - UConn wins in OT, NC gets a big road win at Virginia, Arizona will stay unbeaten, Houston/Texas Tech are playing a great game, and my Gators host Auburn in a few minutes!

Illinois beats Purdue and Texas Tech beats Houston, both great games. My Gators struggling with Auburn.

Tennessee beats Georgia in OT - puzzling ending as the Georgia guy drove to the basket at the end despite being down 3 - he scored a 2 but there was 1 second left, it made no sense.

My Gators facing South Carolina now! Go Gators!

 

[Xeliou66]

Gators up 28 at halftime!! What a great response after Saturday’s disappointing loss!

 

[Xeliou66]

Iowa St is kicking the shit out of Colorado right now, up 30-4. Cyclones have been impressive when I’ve watched them this year, I wonder if this is the year they get to the Final Four.
Big 12 is loaded this year - Arizona/Iowa St/Texas Tech/Houston/Kansas/BYU are all very strong.

Top 10 upsets from yesterday
Two BIG results happened yesterday, as a couple of Top 10 teams failed on the road. #10 Michigan State lost to Minnesota, no doubt angering @H2S dearly.
